LEGO 76940 Jurassic World T. rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition

Product Information

Minifigures are the most redundant parts of LEGO Jurassic World sets, and I have literally lost count of how many Owen Grady minifigures I own, but the set does come with Darius, the protagonist of the series, and an adorable blue baby triceratops. For a fairly inexpensive LEGO Jurassic World set, 76940 T. Rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition is a fun little afternoon dalliance, giving you a unique (for now) take on the LEGO T. Rex in the form of a fossilised skeleton. LEGO Jurassic World building sets allow kids (and adult fans) to recreate scenes from the animated series and movies, dream up unique stories or simply display the cool, collectible models. T. rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition represents an interesting departure from earlier LEGO Jurassic World sets. Despite comprising relatively simple construction techniques, this skeletal dinosaur includes great detail and the proportions correspond almost perfectly with the existing LEGO Tyrannosaurus rex. In fact, the basic structure complements minifigure skeletons, which are comparably simple.

This 198-piece set is ideal for a young LEGO fan who is looking for a more challenging building experience. It comes with illustrated, step-by-step instructions so they can build with confidence. And last but not least – here’s how the T. Rex SKeleton looks next to the other LEGO Tyrannosaurus Rexes – kudos to the designers for keeping the general dimension, and profile of the T. Rex consistent. The only weak point is the minifigures, which to be fair, are never the strongest features of Jurassic World set. Having Darius in an accessible set is a nice bonus for fans of the Camp Cretaceous, but the recycled Owen Grady just feels lazy, and it would’ve been nice to get another generic minifigure, or museum attendant just to mix things up.

Overall

As it’s meant to be displayed on its platform, you can easily remove it and the T. Rex skeleton functions pretty well as a standalone re-animated skeleton dinosaur, and the posable knees and hips give you plenty of options on how you want to pose it. The set provides some decent play value, with the minifigures and the fact that you can easily detach the T. Rex skeleton from its base to “re-animate” it, but at the same time, functions well as a display model. LEGO® Jurassic World building sets allow kids (and adult fans) to recreate scenes from the animated series and movies, dream up unique stories or simply display the cool, collectible models. The LEGO 76940 T. rex Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition is one of the many sets of the LEGO Jurassic World theme. Features

It’s a new recolour from the Baby Triceratops found in Dr Wu’s Baby Dinosaur Lab set, and looks really cute from all angles.Dr. Wu's Lab: Baby Dinosaurs Breakout introduced an adorable infant Triceratops and another such dinosaur appears here. However, the original olive green and tan colour scheme has been replaced with sand blue and tan. I prefer the other colours, but appreciate the unique aesthetic on this occasion. This 198-piece set is ideal for a young LEGO® fan who is looking for a more challenging building experience. It comes with illustrated, step-by-step instructions so they can build with confidence. A nice little bonus addition for LEGO Dinosaur collectors is the inclusion of this Blue Baby Triceratops, or maybe more accurately, a Baby Blue Triceratops. What truly brings this skeleton to life is this excellent new T.Rex skull, with great looking printed details on top of a monochrome tan base.
